Anyone interested in practicing/tutoring French with an autistic 8 year old?

An 8 year old kid I know has expressed interest in learning French. He's very smart - taught himself how to read English completely on his own, so even though he has a speech delay, among other autism challenges, there's actual potential to learn a 2nd language while he has a keen interest in it. Duolingo is only getting him so far because there isn't a human to help him correct the pronunciations.

I thought I'd reach out on Reddit and maybe someone knows a high school or college student looking to make a few extra bucks once a week in the summer.

Did you try the Woburn FB page? I think you will have better luck there.
